Can't install for all users / possibly permissions issue?

Ok here's the scenario...
I have a citrix server running a Visual Studio application
that has a browser component that needs to load a page that has
flash on it. (mouthfull lol.)
I've logged in as an administrator, and installed the latest
version of flash (uninstalling the previous version first.)
If I go to this page on the server:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507
it tells me flash is working great and is the latest version.
When I'm on the server, (logged in as myself) and I run the
application, everything works fine.
So then I try it through citrix (which is sort of like a
remote desktop for those that don't know) and log in as myself
again, and everything works fine.
But when other users log in... either through citrix, or
directly to the server, they get the message that flash isn't
installed, and they can't install it because they're not
administrators.
so... obviously I can't make all of my users
administrators... is there another fix you guys can think of?
Thanks!

bump for the morning crew.

  • Preference Panes - Install for all users, after the fact?

    Is there any way to get an already installed Pref Pane to install for all other users once it has been installed for the main account? I am hoping for a way that doesn't require uninstalling the current Pref Pane and reinstalling, some have settings I don;t wan't to lose for the main account.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The app (Bamboo Dock) has installed in the root applications folder. When I'm logged in as the administrator I can see the proper icon in the apps folder and run it. however, when I log on as my son I can see the app but the icon is the default icon with the A and the pencil on and the app won't run.
    I didn't have a choice where to install and the app did not ask me if I wanted to install for all users.
    I was wondering if I could run the installer app from the terminal with sudo, then I would be giving the installer app the authority to write the receipt? I don't know if this would work or how to do it if it would.

  • Install for all users

    Hope this is the correct forum for this question...
    I have just purchased a Bamboo tablet and installed the accompanying software on my iMac as an Administrator.
    I can use the installed application no problem. However, my Son, who has a standard account, cannot access the installed app. I tried reinstalling it while signed on as him but then the install failed because it could not write a receipt.
    Any ideas how I can get this app to install correctly? Can I install it from terminal using sudo while logged in as my son?
    Thanks,
    Stuart

  • Single Webstart install for all users on a PC?

    Is it possible to do a single install of a Web Start application for all users on a Windows PC? Currently, it appears that each user would have to do the installation.

    I have the same requirement as mikemil. I have read the documentation as dietz333 suggested!
    What have I done:
    - created all the required server side stuff for JNLP
    - created the client side properties.config file referencing the server side system deplyoment.properties via a url
    - this server side deployment.properties contains the property:
    deployment.system.cachedir=c:\\temp\\ws-system-cache
    With that I can do on a client:
    javaws -system <my-jnlp-url>
    All works as expected. Everything gets downloaded and cached in the specified c:\temp\ws-system-cache!
    When I try to "start" <my-jnlp-url> from a browser (ie) it will be stored within the user cache! So, I have to change file association for the JNLPFile type to contain the "-system" option. With that it also works with links in the browser.
    My questions/comments:
    - this requires "some" administrative effort on the client side. Is there a less administrative solution?
    - since there is only a "system" specific location for the deployment.config all Java WS applications ever started will go into this system cache. Wright?

  • PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

    Hi All,
    I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
    1. Just me
    2. Everyone
    However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working). 
    I have created registry key as below
    1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
    2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
    But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
    Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsto&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

    Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

  • Are installed apps installed for all users? ...

    Moving to a new Mac Mini from Windows 7, kind of an OS X noob here.  ;-)
    I created several accounts for all 5 of us in the family. Logged in as myself I installed Google Chrome, accepting the defaults. I see it in my account, but not in the others.
    Is that normal behavior? Do I have to install it separately foer each user account? What's the best way to handle this?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    Chris

    If you install the application in the Applications folder at the top level directory of your hard drive it will be available to all users. If a user installs it in the Applications folder inside their user directory it will be available to onlly that user.

  • Logic Additional Content not installing for all users

    I've got a MAC installed on an Active Directory domain.  If I log in as the local administrator account, Logic runs fine, but if I log in as any network users, it loops around the 'downloading content' loop for ever.  I've downloaded the .pkg files separately but when I go to run them, it prompts me for credentials and whatever I use, it just crashes out.  Any ideas how to progress this?
    Thx

    I am experiencing the same problem on my LAN.  Administrator account the app works fine, end users sign in with non admin accounts and it will not work.
    I spent some time reading online and found the following instructions on the NET.  I tried them and I thought it worked because I was able to log on as a non admin user test account and the flash player worked just fine. 
    Log in as Admin
    2. Download the following zip file from here:
    www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
    3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
    4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
    ‘subinacl.exe’ to your
    desktop.
    5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
    6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
    running through registry
    keys.
    7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
    to continue”.
    8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
    Player:
    for Internet Explorer:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
    lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
    other browsers:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
    Admin.
    10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
    other 2 users.
    I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply
    if you need further
    assistance on the issue discussed here or file
    a new case if you want to
    report a new issue in the Support Portal:
    I also found 6 different versions of Version 8 that supposedly does not require Admin priveleges but it does.  Back to the drawing board. 

  • Users can see documents for all users on the computer?

    when I log in to user A and do a search this Mac, it finds all documents even from other users that are supposed to be confidential!  How can I change this so that searches only find documents on that user?
    Hunter

    Guess you're my Ed Snowden go to guy for this stuff. 
    I have been naively thinking my confidential stuff was confidential.  I don't think my staff have the wherewithal to figure that out and they are too busy and generally good people anyway. 
    One think I did notice when I was browing the Users from my employees computer: all other Users Documents folder had the RED dash on the folder.  The only one missing the red dash was from mine which is the  confidential User.  I did set my documents folder to NO Access earlier today but no red dash appeared on that folder.  Just checked it again after a restart.  seems odd.
    Thanks very much for your help Barney. 

  • Silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 for ALL users?

    We ship an installer that does a silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 with all the 'right' parameters pre-configured. We use this:
    /QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPasswordGoesHere /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT
    AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    However, the problem is that if a tech installs it for another user, that user does not have access, since ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN flag only adds the user who installed it -- rather than adding ALL users on the computer. (Or at least all admins.)
    I tried replacing ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN with this:
    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"
    but that also failed to work. How can we install for all users, or at least all administrators?
    NOTE: we do NOT know the name of the computer or the users. The installer has to work for any computer setup.
    Similar question has already been asked, but wasn't helpful:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8354675f-be9b-4909-b776-942f03954807/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-sql-2010-express-for-all-users-on-a-computer?forum=sqlexpress
    The documentation does not make it clear what you can pass as allowed SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS parameters. I also am not sure if I would need to change the AGTSVCACCOUNT or SQLSVCACCOUNT?

    I tried one more thing:
    /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
    which does not halt installation with an error. 
    However, doing:
    osql -E
    create database test
    go
    in a command prompt from a different admin user on the same machine results in a permissions error... but works if done from a command prompt on the user account from which MSSQLServer was installed.
    So for some reason /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" does not work as expected.
    Anyone have any idea why?
    I checked the output log from the install, and found it had generated and used a configurationFIle to do the install. I looked in that file, and these were the settings, even though I did NOT pass /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN as a command line option:
    ; Windows account(s) to provision as SQL Server system administrators. 
    SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
    ; The default is Windows Authentication. Use "SQL" for Mixed Mode Authentication. 
    SECURITYMODE="SQL"
    ; Provision current user as a Database Engine system administrator for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. 
    ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True"

  • I am trying to get Menu Editor 1.2.7 to work globally for all users. I have added the .xpi to the extensions folder and it is not being installed auto-magically.

    I would like to have Menu Editor installed for all users. I attempted to put the .xpi file in c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\extensions with the expectation that the user would be prompted to install.

    You need to rename the XPI file to the (GU)ID of the extension as listed in the file install.rdf or just install the extension in a profile and copy the file or folder from that profile to the extensions folder.

  • Block all websites apart from the homepage for all users. Citrix environment with Server 2003.

    Citrix Xenapp 5 and Windows server 2003 environment. We want to force Firefox to kiosk mode with a pre-set homepage for all users. I also want to lock this to only one website. I have managed to set up the kiosk mode with R-Kiosk addon and Mozilla.cfg file. I am trying to use BlockSites to block all internet sites and only allow the one site with the whitelist option. I can get the addon to install for all users, but can’t get the default settings across. I have tried to add this with the Mozilla.cfg file, but it looks like this addon is getting it’s settings from the profile folder. If I set the preferences for the addon in Mozilla,cfg file, it actually picks it up but it doesn’t apply it to the addon for some reason. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can lock this down to the one site?

    I am not entirely sure how to do this, but the enterprise community would be a good place to ask. They have a email group you can ask on this page: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/]

  • How can I install and activate extensions for all users

    Hi, within the version 7.0.1 I am able to install noscript extension for example for all users.
    With version 8.0 the extensions are disabled by default, so I do not install it on company computers.
    How can I manage extensions and settings for all users in 9.0?
    Best regards

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

  • How do I install an Add-on for all users

    I wish to user the FoxFilter addon to prevent users from visit all websites, except a whitelist. This addon works fine. I just need the addon to work for all users on the computer. Not just the one the addon was installed for. Can this be done and if so, how?

    This is very possible and you can do it in few very steps.
    <br/><br/>1-First you have to download the xpi add-on file instead of installing it.
    <br/><br/>2-Use the following command at the run prompt (type Windows + R): firefox -install-global-extension
    <br/><br/>For example if your downloaded xpi add-on is on C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\
    <br/><br/>Then you write firefox -install-global-extension C:\Users\Simon\Downloads
    <br/><br/>Note : The addon will be normally available where every addon is. Keep in mind that only administrators can uninstall it.
    Have a nice day
    Sincerely,
    Ahmed Nefzaoui
